Siouxland Regional Transit System (SRTS) Transit Director Brian Pearson recently attended the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) Annual Legislative Fly‑In in Washington, D.C., alongside the Iowa Public Transit Association (IPTA).
The Legislative Fly‑In provides a vital opportunity for transit leaders to meet directly with members of Congress and share the unique challenges and successes of rural, small‑city, tribal, and specialized transit systems. These conversations play an important role in shaping federal funding decisions, regulatory policies, and transportation appropriations that impact communities across the region.
